About “Mercy”

Originally titled “Lamborghini, Murci,” this cut is the first single from Cruel Summer.

The beat was originally produced by Lifted (signed to G.O.O.D. Music). Kanye added the intro vocals, which sample Super Beagle’s 1996 dancehall track “Dust a Soundboy.” The intro and refrain vocals on Beagle’s track are by Fuzzy Jones who’s known for his singular dubplate intros.

The track has been certified triple platinum by the RIAA, selling over 3 million copies, and peaked at #13 on the Billboard Hot 100.
